Not quite ready to Adopt? How about becoming a temporary Foster Family?

All Quincy Animal Shelter residents are current on vaccinations appropriate for their age before being cleared for adoption. All of our animals are spayed/neutered prior to being adopted. Kittens are spayed/neutered when they reach a minimum weight of 2 lbs. and are at least 8 weeks old.

All adopters must agree:

To provide a loving home, including proper medical care and humane treatment at all times.
The animal will not be used for experimentation or be sold.
If the animal is too young to have been spayed/neutered before leaving the Shelter, it will be promptly altered at six months of age.
Dogs will NEVER be allowed off leash outdoors except in a completely fenced in area.
The animal will receive annual veterinary checkups that include rabies vaccinations as required by law.
Dogs will be licensed annually as required by local law.
If for any reason the adopter needs to give up the animal, it will be returned to the Quincy Animal Shelter.
Ownership of the animal will be terminated if at any time the adopter does not live up to these terms.
The Quincy Animal Shelter does not sell animals. Adoption donations are tax-deductible, voluntary contributions, and are not refundable under any circumstances.

Fees and Donations: Your non-refundable adoption fee helps us to continue our high level of care for all the animals, and includes a FREE visit ($40 value) to VCA South Shore Animal Hospital (Quincy or Weymouth, Massachusetts).

About Us

The Quincy Animal Shelter is a 100% volunteer-run organization. The Shelter has NO PAID STAFF and relies completely on our volunteers and the community for support. Incorporated in November 1999 as a non-profit Massachusetts charity, we are also a recognized charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code. Since 1999 the Quincy Animal Shelter has placed more than 5,000 cats and dogs into loving and forever homes through out MA and New England.

As a "no kill" shelter, we make every effort to find the right home for every animal in our care. This means we exercise the same ethical and humane treatment of animals in our facility that you would for your own family feline or canine friend. Every animal receives age-appropriate vaccinations and, if old enough, is spayed or neutered before finding its forever family.
Delivering this type of care involves many volunteers, an active and dedicated management, and a lot of money. Our budget runs approximately $100,000 every year in order to keep doing what we do to help the dogs and cats of Quincy. Please visit our Volunteer and Wish List pages to find out about ways you can help.
Our capacity at the Shelter is limited to a maximum of 12 dogs and 15 to 25 cats, depending on ages and condition of the cats. Our dream is to eventually find a larger facility so that we can continue our mission on a larger scale and serve the continuous needs of the community and the animals.
